Thank for your comments. I hadn’t heard of Misogamy before. I’m not a big fan of the concept. It does express clearly a phobia that men are developing in mass. I think women are signing on to the fear as well.

Since families are the cornerstone of the nation, I think it’s acceptance is very troubling.

On the meaning of misogamy and its historical longevity in the West.

"By law, public sentiment, and religion,–from the time of Moses down to the present day,–woman has never been thought of other than as a piece of property, to be disposed of at the will and pleasure of man. And at this very hour, by our statute books, by our (so-called) enlightened Christian civilization, she has no voice whatever in saying what shall be the basis of the relation. She must accept marriage as man proffers it, or not at all." [Susan B. Anthony, arguing in favor of liberalizing divorce law. CHAPTER XIV. VIEWS ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. Eighty Years And More: Reminiscences 1815-1897 (1898) by Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Since then, many laws and policies have been enacted to prevent common families from remaining intact or rising to compete in business.

"I can never understand why intelligent girls should want to marry fools just to get married. Many are willing to do so. But I am not." (Susan B. Anthony as quoted in an English program and anti-marriage, anti-business-competition propaganda effort for foreign nations by Voice of America, many copies around the Net, mostly on sites for Asians).
